The Bristol and Gloucestershire Gliding Club (EGSZ)
A popular gliding club based near the village of Nympsfield on the Cotswold Edge in Gloucestershire. The club has around 140 flying members, a fleet of club owned gliders, two Skylaunch winches and a tug aircraft available, with about 60 privately owned gliders operating on site.
Their website https://bggc.co.uk/ has a number of documents for visiting pilots wishing to enjoy the local soaring opportunities through the year; both in thermal and on the ridges, as well as occasional wave flights.
The E/W 510m grass runway at 700' altitude is available for winch and tug launches using the Kinetic Assistant mod.
Library assets used are:

All the libraries should to be in your community folder and I would recommend the latest versions are downloaded from https://www.flightsim.to/c/scenery/libraries/
v0.3 Skylaunch 2 winch added to the field and also a parking spot to spawn in cold and dark added
v0.2 Correction to landing area which is to the North of the visible track that runs the full length of the field. This track is is not used for landing and is reserved for the winch cables and winch cable pulling vehicles
v0.1 Basic terraforming without flattening the strip completely and scenery placement
An early look at Rendcombe Aerodrome, 5 miles North of Cirencester. A very very simple scenery pack, I added the airport as PZ18 and put a windsock in the field lol https://drive.google.com/file/d/14equxIApwI0hJu8gE3rE1GfeivxhyO4E/view?usp=sharing

Hi Kev! I really like the attention you have paid to this local field. One little matter - the runway headings seem to be 09/27; shouldn't they be 07/25 (77M/257M)?

Hi David, yup they should be but I've aligned the runway with the bing data and that's what the airstrip bearing is based on. Kev
